I had this years ago! My dad bought me this. I wanted Omega Supreme!

I got the Command Center and loved it as a kid. Then I got Thruster and was kind of bored with it. The sensor gimmick annoyed me and took up too much space inside. Batteries should've been in the head. It was in pristine shape and my parents gave it to Goodwill since I didn't play with it much. Kind of bummed they did that in retrospective but who knew back then they would become kind of classic. I appreciate the playset more now as an adult then I did when a child. I kind of miss it. Still have my Command Center and still love it.

The Thruster reminds me of the BIODRAGON from the japanese super sentai: BIOMAN.

Yeah I remember getting Thruster that Christmas 85 and I wish I still have him cause I lost him that 2 yrs later

Great review! I still have the original box and the unit but I stripped the alarm out as a kid and made it into a security alarm for my bedroom.

Hold up. I ain't even know that the Renegade ship had gotten a toy!! (Largely because they advertised the bloody hell outta the Guardians' Command Center...) As for stickers, I think that just the "eyes" on the front end, the stuff on the sides, and that one in the middle of the back end (with the 1-5) are all you need to liven it up without overdoing it. (A lot of G1 Transformers had similar issues...)

I miss Go-Bots

I thought of two design fixes for the problems with the extending legs and the trapdoor. For the legs, design it so the wings (which may need to be redesigned to be thicker, more durable) fold onto the extended legs' thighs, preventing the legs from retracting. For the trapdoor, design it so there's a tab that rotates with Cy-Kill's throne; when Cy-Kill turns to face an intruder, the tab will be rotated out from under the trapdoor, sending the intruder to the prison cell. Anyone else want Hasbro to bring back Thruster (who may need to be renamed to avoid confusion with the Decepticon "Conehead" Thrust) as a playset for G1 Minibot (Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, etc.) or GI Joe-sized Transformers?

At least Cykill had knees, that is more than can be said for most G1 Transformers.

I love the gobots they are hot

Awww, I love gobots.

The Gobots had more play value than transformers the Gobots had playsets. Vehicles and more.

I can't quite remember, but was the trapdoor triggered by CyKill's throne turning? Or is that Heman and Castle Greyskull ? lol
